Having hip issues? We can help

The hip joint is a large ball and socket joint that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the pelvis (acetabulum). The head of the femur, which is a round ball shape, fits into the acetabulum, which is a cup-like socket. The joint is lined by a smooth layer of cartilage which allows the bones to move smoothly and without friction.

The hip joint is a very stable joint, that allows for a wide range of movement, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation. This makes the hip joint one of the most flexible joints in the body, allowing us to walk, run, jump, and pivot.

The joint is surrounded by a number of ligaments, muscles and tendons that provide stability and support. The most important muscle that supports the hip joint is the gluteus maximus muscle which is the largest muscle in the human body, and the hip flexors which are a group of muscles that allow us to lift our leg up.

Hip joint problems and injuries can occur due to a variety of causes, including trauma, overuse, degenerative conditions such as arthritis, and other underlying medical conditions. Common hip joint problems include hip osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. Treatment for hip joint problems may include physical therapy, medication, and in severe cases, surgery.
